Abstract

This text presents a re-reading of the artwork Tropicália from the point of view of a post-colonial theorization to review the previous nationa(ist) version of Oiticica's work interpretation and of his figure. For that it focuses in the comparison of several concepts crucial for Homi Bhabha: mimesis, ambivalence and hybridization in comparison with the tropicalist proposal of the artist in his interest of Rio de Janeiro favelas, this place 'quite the same, but not really' of the occidental modern city.
